First 512 is too small, you will experience too much swapping.
I recommend 800MB without monitoring and 1200 MB with monitoring.

You can download Oracle XE from oracle.com

You can mix architecture as you like. You can have i386 Spacewalk and 
x86_64 Oracle, x86_64 Spacewalk and i386 Oracle. You can use 10g or 11g.

Of course if you have x86_64 architecture, I recommend you to install 
x86_64 Spacewalk and Oracle DB.
You can install 11g Oracle, but you should know, that very few people 
test it as of today (AFAIK only one did it).
